Crystal Window & Door Systems vinyl window products were recently featured in an episode of A&E Network's "Flipping Boston" TV Show. 25 of Crystal's popular Series 200 double-hung vinyl windows were installed for the cable TV show as part of a house renovation. The renovation work took place last fall and the episode aired on February 11th. The recent episode showed the Crystal vinyl windows being installed and demonstrated their operation. The show's real estate and renovation expert host went further and highlighted some of the Crystal Series 200 window features such as improved energy efficiency over the house's original windows, qualification for energy tax credits, and a deep pocket sill for improved water penetration resistance. New this season, "Flipping Boston" is one of the regional variations of the popular long-running cable TV series "Flip This House."

In 2008, the company's vinyl windows were included in a Connecticut house renovation for the 'Flip This House' show," said Steven Yu, Crystal's marketing manager.
